Ok, So I have figured out the template system, learned from some other plugins a few things. Able to modify broken ones to make work again etc.

Now I have a plugin that on their registration adds a field to their main user mongo objectid. Question is where can I find some useful information on how to pull that said information from the database to display it in html on the template.

I know base values can be done such as username etc with {username} obviously I need the plugin to "whitelist" or add this new value to be able to use it in templates too.

I'm self taught programmer, learn from things i see. Examples are super helpful to me.

I assume id have to do something like:

Require User src
User.getUserField(data.uid, 'NAMEOFID', function (err, NAMEOFIDDATA) {
 //What to do here to push it to template field?
}

I just find it hard to find accurate documentation and descriptions of nodebb plugin making maybe im looking in the wrong areas but seems like its hidden easter eggs.

But yeah, a bit more detail.

db.objects.find({_key: "user:4"})

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ce1e1fa549c71c7acd236cb"), "_key" : "user:4", "valueId" : "hello", "returnTo" : "/" }

(Obviously theres more in that object id i just removed it) - however I want to display valueid's value (hello) to a tpl. If this makes it easier to understand.

@AbelRavyn You still supporting this?

Would be interesting to integrate this into the profiles of the user.

(www.reddit.com)

Was looking into this too, maybe adding it to communicate with that api to ban users if they are banned from nodebb on the voip as well. But prob should wait till official api comes out though prob could port it easily enough.

@baris said in Plugin Dev [newb Question]:

It works for custom templates as well as long as it is rendered with res.render('nameOfCustomTpl', data); Then the hook name becomes filter:nameOfCustomTpl.build

Just wanted to stop in and say thanks. Got it working!

Haha just came here to post this too.

As Pichalite also mentioned. then repost log.

Necroing - @psychobunny you going to ever update this to newest version of ghost / nodebb?

Access Topics - If disabled so they cannot view, can you change this because having the following settings..

[Registered Users]
Access Topics - (Unchecked)
Create Topics - (Checked)
Reply to Topics - (Checked)

ATM, if Access is unchecked they can still make a post but cannot view their own. Would it be possible to make it so if Access Topics is unchecked allow them to view their OWN topic instead of disallowing all topics to be viewed?

This way since they can still post their own topics and reply to it. Others say moderators can reply etc. But other registered users cannot see their topic. Only ones they create them selves. (This is so we can do private support per-say, like if someones reporting something about some one else. Other than a Chat etc. Soon hopefully to add a Form that posts into my form section for this soon.

This might be just me, but I wouldn't be loading that under root directory. Create a new user and use that for nodebb location under home location. As to nodebb not showing up. What does your nodebb config, and nginx config look like? I don't know what you mean by debian comes with nginx already. Sure might be in the repo but shouldn't come installed, Unless a script you ran installed it for you.

So I've been using nodebb for a little while but never got into the coding of a plugin for it.

I've been working on a side project for a while using nodejs, (I'm learning still.) but I have it working and writes to a mongodb for persistence. I am looking at making a new page for displaying that info. Can anyone help me with links or helpful hints on how to get started?

I assume I'd need to do it in a plugin, any help would be appreciated thanks.

@scottalanmiller Yeah, im in the middle of writing a system that would love to utilize the API, but the write API and having to manually update other plugins for their routes and all that, along with trying to figure out peoples coding stack is too much. So I'm prob just going to end up writing/searching the mongodb instead. But API would be awesome.

Ok using 6.11.0 LTS and works again no problems. Thx.

I know this post is kinda old but look up https://docs.mongodb.com/getting-started/node/aggregation/ That is if you have it being stored to mongodb.

Thanks, yeah I wrote a game server rcon web socket bot, which stores all the player information, so got the just of using mongo update/inserts/find functionality just never made a plugin for nodebb so was kinda weird on how to start lol.

@pitaj thanks again, heres what i've got so far.

Thinking of doing maybe a floating footer but duno how that would work with continuous loading of the posts/threads. Maybe ill do a small marquee with crypto price ticker under the floating menu bar instead.

@Joykiller said in Proper way to return res.redirect('')?:

@julian said in Proper way to return res.redirect('')?:

Callbacks don't work all that nicely with async functions... I think stripe.subscribe is called with await and returns undefined before the isValueID method is called and returns.

I added asyncs to test, removed them same issue with headers response from res.redirect. Oh i see what this plugin does, I guess i could write it to the session and then call it from there. Argh im at a loss that didnt work either still same header issue. seems like even the other values prob would do the same as mine I duno if the way it was coded from base was correct.

Nevermind I got it working with writing to the session first, had an error on previous attempt.

Thanks for the help.
